Description
What Is NXG-10 Blue Shade Green Used For?
TW Graphics NXG-10 Blue Shade Green is a professional-grade UV single pigment mixing ink used to formulate custom colors within the NXG UV system. It is not typically used as a standalone finished color, but instead functions as a controlled pigment component in custom color builds.
This mixing color is used when:
- Creating custom Pantone matches
- Building teal or aqua shades
- Shifting green tones cooler
- Increasing blue undertone in green formulations
- Producing extended gamut UV color systems
NXG-10 provides a cooler, blue-driven green tone that allows printers to fine-tune brand color accuracy in custom mixes.
Designed for Sign Shops & Production Screen Printers:
Part of the TW Graphics NXG UV mixing system, NXG-10 is engineered for consistent pigment dispersion, stable viscosity, and predictable blending performance. It integrates seamlessly with other NXG mixing colors and bases for accurate formulation.
This product is commonly used as a:
- UV mixing green ink
- UV single pigment screen printing ink
- UV color matching ink
- UV ink mixing system component
- Custom Pantone formulation base
For printers currently using Nazdar mixing systems, NXG-10 Blue Shade Green functions similarly within a structured UV mixing program.
Where It Performs Best:
When properly formulated into a finished ink, NXG-10 is suitable for printing on:
- Treated polyethylene (PE)
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Polystyrene / Styrene
- Pressure-sensitive vinyl
- Static cling vinyl
- Reinforced vinyl banners
- Coated paper and board stocks
- Corrugated plastic (Coroplast™)
For polyethylene substrates, surface tension should be 42–46 dynes/cm or higher. Always perform adhesion testing before full production runs.
How It Cures:
This is a true UV-curable mixing ink. It does not air dry.
NXG-10 cures under focused medium-pressure mercury vapor UV lamps in the 250–360nm spectral range. Typical UV energy requirements range from 150–300 mJ/cm² at 365nm depending on film thickness and formulation.
Proper cure testing should be completed after final color formulation.
Pantone Equivalent:
- Pantone Match – Pantone 3285C (Closest Visual Equivalent)
- Color Type – Single pigment mixing color
- Match Type – Component used for custom Pantone formulations
- Note – Final Pantone match depends on full ink formulation and mixing ratios. Always test and verify before production.
Why Screen Printers Choose NXG Single Pigment Mixing Colors:
- Precision color control – Designed for custom Pantone matching
- Controlled pigment strength – Predictable blending results
- Stable viscosity – Consistent performance in production
- Broad substrate compatibility – Vinyl, plastics, Coroplast, coated board
- System-based formulation – Integrates with NXG mixing program
NXG-10 Blue Shade Green is ideal for shops running advanced custom color programs that require repeatable, accurate UV color builds.
Nazdar® Cross-Reference – Comparable UV Mixing Ink:
Looking for a Nazdar UV mixing color alternative?
TW Graphics NXG-10 Blue Shade Green functions similarly to single pigment mixing colors used in Nazdar UV mixing systems. Both are UV-curable components intended for controlled color formulation and Pantone matching.
As with any ink system substitution, adhesion, cure energy, and color formulation testing should be completed prior to full production runs.
